Re: Devices across the street from a remote controller

If you are straight accross the street consider using a wireless lan
bridge

We setup one back in 1994 (about 1/2 mile line of sight) and it has
worked great for us

2 mega-bit Cost about $11,000 including install and no additionall
expenses since then so it turned out MUCH cheaper than a T1 or even a
frame relay.
